Not free but good value: Fontspring have a font called Ophian that looks (to my untrained eye!) a reasonable match with Optima. <https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/fontsite/ophian> $22 for the first licence added to the shopping cart then reductions show for the subsequent licences. I'm guessing you'll need two: desktop in order to install on a PC and publish a printed book, and eBook to allow distribution of a PDF or eBook, so 33 USD in total. There's no time limit nor number of copies limit as far as I can see - just one eBook licence per title. Maybe there will be VAT etc added when you get to checkout - I didn't go that far.
